Gasterophilus pecorum is a species of the genus Gasterophilus that is an obligate parasite of horses and other equids.^[1]

Gasterophilus pecorum is a significant threat to equids in the desert steppe of Xinjiang, China, where it is the dominant botfly species.^[2] In the Kalamaili Nature Reserve, China, G. pecorum is a major problem for the health of Przewalski's horse, which has been reintroduced in the area. ^[3] ^[4] ^[5]
